I have a 1 1/2 old yellow girl whose nose now has a nose that looks almost like a sunburn. Nose as pup was perfect...it still has the black around the nose but on the part that is flacky looking is has a pinkish tint to it. Anyone have any thoughts of what could be causing this and what I could do to help her. It's not sore to the touch and doesn't seem to be bothering her. Thanks in advance for any help.
No, from the pictures I pulled up it doesn't. It looks like most with the snow nose with a area that looks similar to our skin when we get a sunburn. It just started about a week ago and has not changed. It does not cover her entire nose either. I thought maybe it was from being outside to play with the cold weather but I have kept her in. I will be taking her to the vet tomorrow.
For the first time ever - we had a problem with a pink spot on black nose with our male last year. The vet thought first thing - any plastic coming in contact with him? Well, no plastic dish, but I had bought those plastic houses for outside and plastic decking for the pen. Took out all the plastic and it went away in 2 weeks. We did a slide and did put cream on it, but I'm sure it was the plastic. A few weeks ago we bought a new crate and it had a nice rubber like tray and we put him in there off and on within 2 weeks he had a tiny pink spot. Had to put him back to his old pen only.
